Metal Roof Accessories

Rooftop HVAC system for a large commercial building

HVAC Curbs

When a roof curb for HVAC is included with your order, flanges are customized to fit perfectly as possible and designed to carry certain point loads required for equipment placement. All curbs feature continuous seam welds. Side flanges nest with the roof panel, thus resulting in a completely watertight seal. Metal roof curbs come standard with 1″ foil-faced rigid insulation (R6.5). High R-values are available upon request. Our packages ship with all accessories for a complete curb install.

Features and Benefits

  • Custom-fabricated

  • Aluminum

  • Full-penetration/continuous welds

  • Two-curb system for heavy rooftop equipment

  • Mill or custom color finish

Ridge Ventilators

Allow optimum airflow and premium comfort inside your Butler Building with continuous ridge vents. Ridge ventilators easily move fresh air through buildings of all sizes, including heavy industrial operations. Meanwhile, they remove hot, stale air — and air contaminated by manufacturing or production processes. And the benefits last year-round. During warm summer months, our gravity ridge ventilators release heat naturally. When winter temperatures strike, proper ventilation helps control condensation and other moisture issues. Unventilated condensation leads to rust, deteriorated insulation, and product damage.

Your continuous ridge vent is available in a wide range of throat sizes — and with or without dampers to control airflow. Pull chains are the standard means for controlling dampers. Multiple damper operations are available for two or more units. Standard ridge ventilators are shipped with a 1:12 end cap and can be field modified to accommodate up to 6:12 roof pitch. Ventilators can be custom ordered to accommodate roof pitches greater than 6:12.

Features and Benefits

  • 10' Lengths with Heavy Duty Crating

  • Bird Screen & Wide Flanges

  • Single or Continuous Applications

  • Pre-Finished Off White
